Statistics and Analysis

John Sullen is a massive offensive lineman, standing 6'6'' and weighing more than 335 pounds. That puts him among the biggest players in the National Football League. He has tremendous strength and is particularly impressive in short-yardage situations. Sullen has experience playing both guard positions.

His weakness, however, lies with the quicker defenders as is customary for massive linemen. He's also not very effective pulling, making it very unlikely that Sullen could ever succeed as an offensive tackle.

Sullen's height and weight shows that he is one of the bigger offensive linemen entering the draft. He has large arms and hands. As expected, he is also extremely slow, turning in a 5.78 in the 40-yard dash.

According to Rob Rang of CBSSports.com, Sullen is most similar to Chicago Bears' offensive guard Chilo Rachal, for his ability to dominate the power run game and struggle against high-speed pass-rushers. Rachal was a second-round draft choice of the San Francisco 49ers in 2008 and has started 46 of the 64 games he has played over the past five seasons.
